The 2026 NBA Draft is officially over, which means NBA fans have entered that magical time of year where everybody thinks they got a future Hall of Famer and nobody wants to hear the truth.
Seriously. The Wizards draft AJ Dybantsa and suddenly Washington fans are pricing championship tattoos.
The Jazz draft Darryn Peterson and Utah fans are already comparing him to Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Jesus.
The Grizzlies draft Cameron Boozer and Memphis fans are acting like they just stole Fort Knox. To be fair, they might have. The kid looks like he’s been playing grown-man basketball since he was old enough to spell basketball.
But my favorite part of every NBA Draft isn’t the picks.
It’s the complete loss of sanity afterward.
For the next three months every fan base becomes a scouting expert.
A guy who couldn’t identify a pick-and-roll if it ran him over in a crosswalk is suddenly breaking down wingspan measurements and discussing “positional versatility.”
Shut up, Steve.
You watched three YouTube highlights and half of them were against future accountants.
The Wizards took AJ Dybantsa No. 1 overall, and honestly, if this kid becomes what scouts think he can become, Washington might finally stop rebuilding sometime before humans colonize Mars. The talent is ridiculous. The scoring is ridiculous. The upside is ridiculous. The Wizards’ ability to screw up good things? Also historically ridiculous.
Utah grabbed Darryn Peterson at No. 2.
This kid can flat-out score.
And let’s be honest, after watching some of the Jazz offenses over the last few years, seeing somebody create his own shot probably felt like witnessing a UFO landing in Salt Lake City.
Then Memphis took Cameron Boozer.
Can somebody explain to me why every year basketball people try to outsmart themselves?
The kid wins everywhere.
Produces everywhere.
Dominates everywhere.
Yet every draft nerd spends six months looking for imaginary flaws like they’re trying to find Bigfoot.
Sometimes the answer is simple.
Good player is good.
Draft him.
Now let’s get to Brooklyn.
The Nets took Mikel Brown Jr. over Darius Acuff.
Which means we have officially launched the next great New York sports debate.
Knicks fans will argue.
Nets fans will argue.
Sports radio callers will argue.
A guy named Tony from Staten Island will call six different shows this week demanding everyone be fired. Nature is healing.
The Knicks selected Jack Kayil and Tyler Nickel later in the draft.
Which means Knicks Twitter has already convinced itself they found the next Manu Ginobili, Klay Thompson, and Nikola Jokic rolled into one player.
By next week somebody will post a seven-minute highlight video with dramatic music and the comments section will declare him untouchable in trade talks. We’ve seen this movie before.
And then there’s Boston.
The Celtics drafted Chris Cenac Jr. and Dillon Mitchell.
Within five minutes, Boston fans had already created seventeen spreadsheets, four pie charts, and a documentary explaining why both players are future All-Stars.
Nobody celebrates a draft pick quite like Boston.
The player could average six points a game and Celtics fans would tell you he’s impacting winning in ways the naked eye simply can’t comprehend. Here’s the reality nobody wants to hear.
Half these draft grades are going to look completely ridiculous in three years.
Some A+ pick will flop.
Some second-round pick will become a star.
One guy nobody talked about will end up making three All-Star teams.
And every draft expert who got it wrong will magically pretend they predicted it all along.
That’s the draft. It’s Christmas morning for NBA fans.
Everybody opens the box hoping they got a PlayStation.
Sometimes it’s a PlayStation. Sometimes it’s socks.
And sometimes it’s the New York Jets of draft picks.
You talk yourself into it for six months before realizing you’ve made a terrible mistake.
Welcome to the NBA, rookies. And good luck.
You’re going to need it more than half the general managers who drafted you.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.
What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.
Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.
My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
